It’s AMAZING how much Nevada has changed since its early mining days. Most of the early mining sites have become complete ghost towns, while many of the buildings that are still standing don’t appear as they once did.

While researching “Then and Now” photos of Nevada, I came across the AMAZING photography of Rick Cooper, via Flickr. Listed below are my 10 favorite “Then and Now” photo comparisons he has done of Nevada that showcase how much the state has changed over the years.
